亭边一棵柳树，桥头一棵柳树。纵有碧丝千万条，怎能挽得行人驻？

岸上一声杜鹃，水中一声杜鹃：“行不得也哥哥！莫若回帆。”

There is a willow tree beside the pavilion,

There is also a willow before the bridge waving.

Even willow branches blown to thousands lines,

How could they hold the pedestrians from leaving?

You heard one cry of cuckoo on the bank,

You also heard one cry of cuckoo from the bay.

“Rather than going away, my sweetheart!

You need to come back and forever stay.”
